Stacy Barthe Talks New Name, EP & Remake of Madonna's 'Like a Virgin'
The former Motown singer-songwriter, now known as St. Barthe, is also working again with Miley Cyrus.
Meet St. Barthe -- actually, many music fans already have. St. Barthe is the new moniker adopted by singer-songwriter Stacy Barthe.
Barthe, whose songwriting credits include Rihanna’s “Cheers (Drink to That),” Miley Cyrus’ “Adore You” and Katy Perry’s “Hummingbird Heartbeat,” released her solo debut album last year: BEcoming. Now she’s back with a new EP, FKA Stacy Barthe, and video for lead single “Virgin,” both released Friday (May 27).
“Virgin” is St. Barthe’s take on Madonna’s 1984 hit “Like a Virgin.” Explains St. Barthe, who has returned to her New York home base after 10 years in Los Angeles, “I’m basically talking about the men I’ve been involved with and how I never got out of those relationships what I was looking for.”
